has anyone ever just taken the white box off and used the stock air box for an intake?? i wanna know if that will be any good

 

Yep and Yes.

 

did you take the white box and black tube out..or did you leave the black tube in and just take the white box out??

 

what white box?

 

did you leave the black tube in or did you take the tube and white box out?? and how was performance

 

the white box behind the bumper where the lower black intake tube goes to.

 

i think it's a white tube with a black box or something...

 

even if you did this, you would still be pulling in hot air from the engine? right? I dont see the benefits of this.

 

if i left the lower tube on still it gets air from behind the bumper

 

i don't think there is anything white.
they all the black.

No it doesn't suck in hot air, its like a ram air intake, but sucks less air than it.

But yes i did notice gains. very little but yes.

 

there is a white box behind the bumper like he said. it's attached to the snorkel tube thing. i don't think taking that stuff out will have a significant effect on the performance. if anything, you'll get to hear the intake a lot more than before.

 

it's called a resonator.. which is strange because it actually supresses resonances and hence should be called an anti-resonator

 

they're actually acoustic chamber tuned to attenuate certain sound frequencies. i recently noticed that there is a small resonator on the intake arm that attaches to the throttle body. i never knew that there was a resonator there.
anyway, you could remove the white resonator and the snorkel and make yourself a cold air box by putting some of that piping used for dryers between the bottom to the stock air box and the opening on front bumper.
